“Why the Oscars really lack diversity”

Tonight in his rewrite segment on MSNBC’s Last Word, Lawrence O’Donnell says a lot of the same things we’ve been saying for months about diversity and the Oscars — but he says it with uncommon fervor. Holding up the screener DVDs for Straight Outta Compton and Beasts of No Nation, O’Donnell describes what might have been going through the heads of many Oscar voters when they made their choices this season. If you think you’ve heard all this 1000 times before — so many times that you’re tired of it — please listen once more and be re-energized.
